Yes, all international travelers are required to have a passport, including infants and children. To learn more about the application process, please visit the Government of Canada's website.

A passport BOOK is required - Passport Cards, Enhanced Drivers Licenses or SENTRI cards are not valid for air travel. If you already have a passport, please check the expiration date.

The Canadian Government recommends that international travelers have 6 months of validity remaining on their passport after their return trip date.

PASSPORT PROCESSING TIME is nearly back to normal as of right now, check this site for details and *do not* wait until the last minute! https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/new-adult-passport.html

Because group reservations at all inclusive resorts are pre-paid and non-refundable, travel insurance is encouraged to protect your investment. Life is unpredictable; plans can change.

The cost of insurance is based on your age, your province of residency and the total cost of your trip. Due to this, travel insurance prices will be quoted for each individual guest.

Without insurance, there are no refunds should your plans change

Without insurance, you will also not have any medical coverage for mishaps or catastrophic events. Your extended benefits, provincial health care and/or your credit card insurance may not be sufficient; please read the FAQ below for more detail.

We have sold out of the Sunwing Worry Free vouchers plans & are unable to get anymore.

We also have access to a more robust plan through Manulife as well. Please request additional information when you book your trip for a quote. At the very least, we strongly urge all guests to purchase emergency medical insurance as out of country medical expenses can be astronomical. If you choose to decline travel insurance offered by Sweet Sights Travel, you will be required to sign a waiver prior to having any travel documents or vouchers released to you.

07
Yes! Please coordinate with your roommate and designate ONE person to fill out the reservation form. You can fill out the information for multiple credit cards so you can each pay your own portion.

Reservation forms should be one per ROOM, not one per person. When I get your form, I will email both of you and explain next steps.

If you and your roommate live at different addresses, please make sure to include the second passenger's contact info. This can go in the notes field.

This means that the group has paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for your group.

The couple has signed a contract with the resort and has committed to a minimum number of rooms
Only rooms booked with Sweet Sights Travel count toward this contract
The resort has a 3-night minimum stay requirement, but you are welcome to come earlier or stay later!
We have reserved several different room types for you to choose from. Descriptions follow this FAQ.

The couple has paid a deposit to pre-reserve rooms for your group. They have a group contract that allows them to offer additional benefits for their guests.

The group kindly asks that you book your hotel within our designated group contract here at Sweet Sights Travel.

There are several reasons why you should honor the group's wishes and book the hotel portion with the group:

The group has worked with me to negotiate a contract for the ENTIRE group. This includes a special set rate and included transportation.
Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment.
Groups are given priority room assignments, so if you book directly, you're likely getting a room that couldn't be sold to a group. It will be leftover inventory, probably in a undesirable location away from everyone else.
Groups are given priority in terms of an oversold situation. If the hotel over sells, your group is protected but this reservation is not. You could be walked to another location.

Guests who do not book within the group contract unfortunately:

Will not get the group rates.
Will have to pay up front vs. over time.
Will not receive any pre-departure, trip support or post-trip support from me.
Unfortunately I cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group, nor can I assist in the event of an emergency.
Will be required to pay a day pass on property to attend wedding events (even if you're staying on property). Note: Day pass sales are extremely limited due to occupancy restrictions & typically start at $150 USD per person per event.

START MY RESERVATION

Before you submit, do any of these scenarios apply to you?

01
The name that you use on your reservation needs to match the name on your passport exactly. Please do not use nicknames, shortened names, etc. Please double check your passport to ensure that your name matches, or change fees may apply. If you are in the process of renewing or applying for a new passport, you can still complete your reservation as long as you ensure the names match what will be on the passport.
02
03
Pregnancy Restrictions: Some trips have restrictions for pregnant travelers. For example, cruise lines will not board a passenger after her 24th week of pregnancy. Ask me for more details.

Travel Insurance and Pregnancy: Please read the coverage info carefully. In many policies, pregnancy is considered a pre-existing condition and is not a covered cancellation reason. In this case, you may want to consider "Cancel for Any Reason" coverage, an optional upgrade.
04
Children under 18 years of age not traveling with both parents or legal guardian(s) may need to present a notarized letter from the absent parent/guardian granting permission to travel outside of Canada and the United States. This letter should also authorize the adult to provide emergency medical care if necessary.

Please refer to this website for more information and sample letters: https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/children/children-travel

Sweet Sights Travel is not responsible for lack of compliance to provide proper documentation to airport authorities. It is the responsibility of the traveler & the traveler’s parents/guardians to provide proper documentation to airport authorities.
